Joining once again, in collaboration with the Montreal Canadiens, Classic Auctions is pleased to offer a large collection of artifacts and memorabilia from the storied club's comprehensive archives. A number of historic specimens direct from the famous team including unique displays that were once marvelously displayed in the hallowed Montreal Forum and later at the Bell Centre are available, with an endless array of legendary and monumental players featured that all proudly once donned the sacred jersey of the mighty Montreal Canadiens.
Hockey’s most celebrated and decorated club, the Montreal Canadiens are not only the NHL’s oldest team, founded in 1909, they are the most successful historically, with their 24 Stanley Cup championships second to only the New York Yankees in North American professional sports. Honouring the winning tradition of the Habs, we have a full set of banners totaling 24, with one for each of the club’s iconic championships. At approx 24” x 54”, each one-sided white vinyl banner sports a full colour Canadiens emblem, with “Coupe Stanley Cup” above and the year beneath. Wooden rods are inserted along each top and bottom border to facilitate hanging, with examples present for 1915-16, 1923-24, 1929-30, 1930-31, 1943-44, 1945–46, 1952–53, 1955–56, 1956–57, 1957–58, 1958–59, 1959–60, 1964–65, 1965–66, 1967–68, 1968–69, 1970–71, 1972–73, 1975–76, 1976–77, 1977–78, 1978–79, 1985–86 and 1992–93. An LOA from Classic Auctions will be included.
The banners all remain in beautiful condition showing light wear, with the 1985-86 and 1992-93 specimens showing heavier wear including wrinkles.
